Senior Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said that the President will win the 2019 elections if he decides to run again.

Adesina, who made this known while he appeared on Channels television Programme, Sunday Politics, noted that President Buhari has done well in his nearly two years in office.

“That would depend on Nigerians, but if you ask me as an individual, I will say, yes, the president can win and win again and again,” he told Channels’ Seun Okinbaloye.

Adesina becomes the second Buhari appointee to reveal that the President will run for a second term in 2019, amidst concerns over his health status.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, had in February asserted that the President would spend two tenures in office.

“The foundation being laid by the government is solid. And nobody, even after the president has finished his eight years can ever take us back to the pre-2015 days,” Lawal had said in Abuja.
